A closer look at how Anthony Weaver, the Miami Dolphins' new defensive coordinator, aims to instill the Baltimore Ravens' 'dawg mentality' in Miami.
It's no secret that Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver deeply admires the Baltimore Ravens, the team for which he spent years as a player and a coach.
"I think there's so much ingrained in the building just from that 2000 Super Bowl team, and the fabric of that team. You still feel it when you walk between those walls," said Weaver, who played for Baltimore from 2002-05 and was an assistant coach from 2021-23. "We're building towards that. I think we have the men in this locker room to get that done."
"Why that sustains in Baltimore is because they finished the job in 2000," Weaver said. "We have everybody in this building to have that type of dawg mentality. But ultimately, you got to win it all if you want it to be long-lasting."Weaver believes that Miami's defense can elevate to the next level by adopting some of the core principles that made Baltimore's defense so formidable.
"In 2021, I turned down a coordinator opportunity to go to Baltimore because I knew I was lacking in scheme knowledge," Weaver said. "Baltimore had played really good defense for a number of years, and I wanted to make sure I was fully prepared the next time I had an opportunity."
